One of the moat . important yet presented wa went from Wood burn a- few days ago, where the election waa close, and each aide wanted to secure the advantage. There being aome doubt aa to the right of four people who owned Jointly some pieces of prop. ' erty to vote, Mr. Ackerman was applied to. He ruled that "in cases of joint ownership, as many can vote aa nave ' property, and have their name on the assessment rolls of 18US." The names of qualified school electors must appear on the I8U8 asseeament roll. , A quite serious and costly accident . happened latt Saturday night, when the ,'i seagoing barge Washington, In tow of the tog damson; ran upon a reef of rocks imt above oLle.' Tha'tiarge belongs to Isle 4 Kern', and was used to transport rock from the 'Columbia river to Gray's harbor, where that material is ucd In the eonstruntionf the government jetty, and at the time tha barge stranded aiie was laden with a cargo of that material. The boat did not sink, however, until Sunday forenoon, but it Is said the wreck . now lie In 140 feet of "water. The boat and Its cargo wa Insured for $25,000. and although a wrecking crew i now at work, there it soma doubt entertained aa to whether the stranded boat can be awd. , When the state aids the counties to improve the road it simply taxes both city and country for Uiat purpose. A road ia really , the property of uie" state, in one sense, aa it ia tree to the residents of the ci ties, and ciur.be; used by anyone. But the farmers should not wait for state, aid to improve the roads, as they cannot afford to haul their produce over roads that are almost impassable. The tax on each farmer for road purposes Is small compared with the benellt and advant ages derived. Chaanberlala'a Cough Remedy.

Captain Good's new steamer, America, built for the Slough run, to take the place of the Young America, has been completed and is now on the regular run, going into commission Tuesday last. A trial trip waa made with the new boat from Portland to thia city last Sunday afternoon, and the performance of the little beauty was highly pleasing. On her arrival here she waa boarded by many of the people, who thoroughly inspected tbe craft and pronounced her a complete auecess. She is, without ex ception, the most convenient boat of her kind ever launched in these waters, and her speed and appointments are all tliat I er owner planned for ber. The new boat is 101 feet, ten inches In length, overall, and twenty feet wide. overall, on the cabin deck; fourteen feet at the water line. She does not dif fer greatly in appearance, however, from the old boat, yet the difference is all improvement. There are passage ways the entire distance around the boat on the outside of the cabins, on to wiiich doors open from both the after cabins, tbe ladies' cabin being entirely shut off from other portions of the boat, save the companion wars around either side. This boat haa greater passenger and freinht-carrving capacity than the old one, and ber speed undoubtedly greater. captain uocxt has at ail times sup plied a splendid service for the people along the Slough, and his effort to fur nish a better rervice and better accom modations should be appreciated and rewarded bv an undivided support bv all the people. Without such service as haa been given in the past it would be impossible for the farmers and dairy men to successfully conduct their busi ness, aa tbe little boat affords tneane by which the products along that water way are taken to tbe Portland market every day in the year, arriving in the city at such an hour as to give the pro ducer tne advantage of tne forenoon market. - Better accommodation will also be af forded the St. Helens people, aa it ia the intention for the new boat to start from this city not earlier than 7 o'clock in the morning, as it is expect that the in creased speed of this boat will enable her to reach Portland at the usual hour after departing from St. Helena at the time mentioned. fi' iV vf -A aPV Ifcfl 0l Mi XT 0 Keep always on hand a complete stock of- GENERAL 0 jit an- " ' 0 T.
